Downloads Keep Stopping

[wicked_hobbit]

Hi guys...
I've been reading forum posts (including in this particular forum) and articles for an hour and still haven't found the solution. So hopefully someone could shed some light.

The problem is lately my downloads keep stopping halfway through. These include :
1. Getting 'direct' files
2. Files from upload services like Rapidshare, Mediafire, etc.
3. Streamed media like Youtube, imeem mp3s, etc.

I've been trying different internet sources like university wifi connection, hotspots, a friend's wireless modem and my own subscribed connection from data outlets on the wall. I have also scanned my laptop with AVG, Ad-aware and Kapersky and it seems to be clean. But still the problems persists.

I'm at a dead end. Any opinion?

I believe you should reset your tcp/ip stack. It seems that several antiviruses and firewalls do wierd things to your internet connection after they are uninstalled. This can be done through the command prompt and is quite easy:
1. To open a command prompt, click Start and then click Run. Copy and paste (or type) the following command in the Open box and then press ENTER:
cmd
2. At the command prompt, copy and paste (or type) the following command and then press ENTER:
netsh int ip reset c:\resetlog.txt
Note: If you do not want to specify a directory path for the log file, use the following command:
netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt

If that doesn't fix your problem, then your connection is probably being throttled or metered somehow. You should probably talk to your ISP or University IT guy if it keeps up.
